PRESIDENT IN FAVOR OF LOAN 1 Caban Government Borrows 360,000,000 From U. S. Bankers. Special to Indiana Daily Times ®*nd Philadelphia Public ledger. WASHINGTON. OcL 15.—Cuba's desire to float a government loan in the United States has the hearty approval of the Harding Administration. When Havana dispatch reporting that Davis if. Eagau has sailed from Cuba after completing arrangements for a ?6f>.000.00i) loan wck brought to the attention of high officers of the Government today, they said they were happy to hear the transaction had apparently been successfully carried out The loan will not be a United States treasury affair, but ah advance by American private bankers, acting as individuals or as a group or syndicates It was pointed out that the Cuban loan does not come within the scope of the foreign loan policy laid down by the Harding Cabinet several months ago, l. e.. that hene* forward American capital loaned abroad should be spent for American goods or produce. We look upon Cuba through special eyes. She Is not a foreign nation in the sense that European South American or Asiatic states are. The Platt amendment, as is well knhwn. confers upon the Unitod States a benevoleni charge upon Cuba's fore'gn relations, and the Harding Administration rejoices at the opportunity that has been presented to sanction measures designed to stabilize Cuba's economic and financial status.— Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

Oppose Laws Which Favor Divorce and Birth Control Points Scored by Catholic Women Second Day of National Council .

BY CONSTANCE IYREXEL. WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—Catholic women ware urged to stand as a unit against any laws facilitating divorce, birth control or interfering with parochial schools. They were told to make the Immigrants coming from Catholic countries their special concern so that these Immigrants speedily may be welqomed into Catholicism here. Those were the high spots in the second day’s sessions of the first convention of the new National Council of Catholic women being held at the Willard Hotel. More than, 1,000 delegates and visitors were in attendance. Men of the church have been prominent on the program. It was during the address of the Rev. Joseph C. Husslein, S. J._. on the subject “Woman's Influence on Public Opinion” that Catholic women were urged to watch legislation keenly so that laws might not be made inimical to the precepts of the Catholic Church. They were told to let their votes stand Irmly for the sanctity of the home. They were enjoined to direct public opinioD so that looser divorce laws or birth control might not creep in. By all means are they to see that no State or national control of education be allowed to interfere with Catholic schools. As an example of the powrer of con certed action against any proposed legis lation, the Rev. James H. Ryan, D. D., of the national Catholic welfare council declared a bill tending to interfere with the

freedom of education had been successfully held up in Congress.

In the afternoon the immigration program of the national Catholic welfare council was discussed by Bruce M. Mohler, director of its bureau of immigration. Dr. Anne Nicholson, formerly director of Americanization work in the San Francisco public schools and now director of the service bureau of the National Council of Catholic Women, discussed Us Americanization program.

Barricade Downing Street to Protect Lloyd George

LONDON, Oct. 15.—Political and labor problems have inflamed feeling to such a high pitch in various quarters of the country that extraordinary precautions are being taken to prevent aDy attack against the life of Premier Lloyd George. The two chief questions which have aroused passionate resentmenU are the Irish peace situation and unemployment. Radical Sinn Feineis make no effort to veil their hatred for the premier, who, they declare, is trying to hoodwink Ireland iDto an agreement satisfactory to England, but not to Ireland. In industrial districts the labor classes have begun to mutter threats

| Decision to shelve the reapportionment ! bill came at a night session following a i day of discussion. Sentiment among poi litical leaders Is so strong on the score 1 that the House already is too unwieldy for the efficient transaction of public business that an increase of membership np to 400 would drag the lower body of Congress deeper into the mire of mediocrity. Adoption of the Fairfield motion came after an amendment by Representative Barbour of California to retain the mem-

against the government and when they speak of the government, the premier, as the chief spokesman of the cabinet, always is the target. Barricades have been erected at the entrance of Downing street to prevent mobs of unemployed from storming the pr*mier’s official residence —a thing which they have been attempting. The premier's residence constantly is under police guard and when the premier goes to his country place at Chequers, the Metropolitan oolice "send a detail of guards. Like every man in public life, the premier receives threats from time to time, but he never takes them seriously. •-

bership at 435 was defeated. 140 to 123. The measure sought to provide for the reapportl eminent of the representation In the U..use according to the provision in Jhe Constitution calling" for such 'action after every decennial census. On that ground, Representative Siegel of New 3'ork, chairman of the Censqs Committee, urged its adoption. Party lines were lost in the debate la which the divisioh came about for the most part between States that were gain ing or losing by the change. The outstanding speech was made by Rep resentative Beedy of Maine, who opposed increasing the membership of the House on the grounds of efficiency. Mr. Beedy referred to the fact that Republican Floor Leader Mondell has reversed his opinion on reapportionment and had come to favor increasing the membership of the House. . Representative Tinkham of Mas sachosetts, denounced as “anarchistic ’ the failure of the House to take account of the disenfranchisement of negroes In leap portioning representation in the House. While Representative Cockran of New York, urged increasing the size of the House because “anything was better than its present condition,' others argued against the Increase on the grounds of economy.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company. , Local Optimist Club Has Annual Election At the annual election and banquet last night of the Optimist Club at the Hotel Lincoln I* K.
